Notes Concerning Data Quality:

PAMZ data includes:

Data that has been subjected to rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) processes. Data collected prior to the beginning of last month will normally have undergone QA/QC processing.
Raw data that must undergo QA/QC processes before it can be considered valid. The most recent data available on the PAMZ site is raw data.
Most raw data differs only slightly from data that has undergone QA/QC processing. Significant differences are rare.

PAMZ continuous and passive data is also available through the CASA Data Warehouse.

Meteorological and Monitoring Info

Air quality depends on the rate that pollutants are emitted to the atmosphere and the rate at which these compounds are dispersed away from the sources.

Air pollution transport and dispersion are influenced by wind speed and direction, the temperature structure of the atmosphere, the solar cycle, turbulence and changes in these elements induced by local topography.

The interpretation of the continuous and passive data is supported by basic meteorological measurements of parameters that affect the transport and dispersion of emissions.

Meteorological parameters measured in support of the Parkland Airshed Management Zone’s Air Quality Monitoring program are:
